Carlsbad usually gets big surf in the winter. We have an exception right now. I painted this picture so you can experience the full effect. The palm tree lost his life shortly after I finished painting. Were I to attempt to paddle out on my surfboard right now I would never make it past the white water. This sometimes also happens when we have a 2-foot swell, but that is another story. I decided tomorrow after our bike ride we need to go to the beach and wave-watch.
